- Redundant via insertion and line end extension employed in the post-routing stage are two well known and highly recommended techniques to reduce yield loss due to via failure. Ho...
Shallow trench isolation (STI) is the mainstream CMOS isolation technology. It uses chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to remove excess of deposited oxide and attain a planar...

— To cope with bursty arrivals of high-volume data, a DSMS has to shed load while minimizing the degradation of Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper, we show that this problem...
Timing-driven placement is a critical step in nanometerscale physical synthesis. To improve design timing on a global scale, net-weight based global timing-driven placement is a c...
